Small light brown box with an image on the lid of a kneeling Mountie inside a circle looking through binoculars. 'Odds and Ends' is printed in cursive above the circle, and 'Kitimat Canada' is printed to the lower right.

The lid has two hinges, each in a fanciful shape with six curls and three dots; this shape is mirrored on the top of the lid and the back side of the box. At the front of the box there is a cardboard latch with a snap button to close up the box. Inside the box are more decorative shapes and the name 'KEITH WYN WILLIAMS,' with each letter inside an ovalesque gold sticker.
